Laser Works With Every Paint Finish!The automotive industry often faces the task of positioningon already painted car body panels using a robot.For this purpose, the distance between robot and body componentmust be detected with an accuracy of only a few tenths of a millimetre.As the modern car production line mixes the various colours available,any sensor used must be able to contend with different paint finishesfrom white to black to metallic, the dynamic range of the employedlaser sensor has to meet the highest demands.The Sensor Instruments model R-LAS laser sensor uses automaticlaser power correction to adapt itself without any problems to therespective surface, which means that bright and dark objects canbe detected with the highest accuracy.
